Why is it harder to get an erection as we age, - Wikidata

Many of us remember when we were young. At that age, we could get erections so hard that
they hurt. We didn’t know why, and we didn’t care. We were young and healthy. But as we
get older we start noticing changes across our body and one area that is a closely guarded
secret is the changes to our manhood. Our erections appear both smaller and start to
become softer. This then becomes a decline which can lead to full Erectile Dysfunction. So
why does this happen and is there anything we can do about it? A strong erection is based
on twenty times the normal blood flowing into the penis and remaining trapped there. When
we are young our bodies are trying to pack even more blood in. But as we age the blood
flow becomes less effective and twenty, becomes nineteen, eighteen, seventeen and so on
until real problems emerge. One technology that is revolutionising people's sex lives
is shockwave therapy. Shockwave therapy emits sound waves at 1500 metres a second and when
treating a penis causes the growth of many millions of new blood vessels and nerve
tissues. This pioneering treatment is undertaken by Mansmatters a group of men’s health
clinics in London, United Kingdom.
